Daughter of popular comedian dealt meth in her home: the police

New details have emerged about the legal troubles and recent arrest of Chelsea Belle O’Donnell, the comedian’s eldest daughter Rosie O’Donnell.

Prior to her arrest, the sheriff’s office “consistently received information that Chelsea was actively using and trafficking meth from her residence,” according to a complaint from USWeekly.

As reported, Chelsea was arrested on October 11 in Oconto County, Wisconsin. Now, provincial police have released court documents detailing how the arrest took place.

Chelsea, 27, faces three felonies and two misdemeanors after police in Oconto County charged her with possession of methamphetamine, possession of narcotics, bail jumping, obstructing an officer and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Officers conducted a traffic stop that morning and noticed that Chelsea and a male passenger looked away when he came into view and looked visibly nervous. The officer who stopped her ran the car’s license plate and the report revealed that Chelsea was not the owner of the vehicle and that the owner had a warrant out for her arrest.

“Chelsea wouldn’t look me in the eye and kept staring straight over the steering wheel. I asked Chelsea where she was going tonight, and initially said she didn’t know, but then seemed to catch herself and said “to a friend,” read reports obtained by Fox11News. “I asked Chelsea who her friend was, and she said she didn’t know. I asked the passenger for ID, but he didn’t recognize me, so he kept looking straight. Chelsea was visibly shaking nervously and her forehead was covered in sweat. I asked Chelsea if there were any illegal drugs in the vehicle. Chelsea said she wasn’t sure if that was the case or not. I asked Chelsea for proof of insurance and registration, and she stated that she had no insurance information because it was not her vehicle.

As the officer who arrested her stated, “Chelsea came back valid with an open drug case on multiple charges of drug possession and maintaining a drug trafficking operation.”

Officers told her they would be looking for drugs or weapons on her body, and according to reports, Chelsea “flipped” away from officers when asked what was in her pocket.

“Chelsea reached into her right front pants pocket when we tried to grab her and threw what we later discovered was a meth pipe toward the Oconto River,” reports said. “Chelsea tried to throw it over the fence into the river but failed. The meth pipe hit the fence, bounced back onto the sidewalk and broke.”

After testing the meth pipe, which came back positive for methamphetamine, police also tested seized drugs and found hydrocodone, oxycodone and morphine.

Following this arrest, Chelsea O’Donnell was released on bail three days later. She has not said anything about her arrest. She is the mother of four children: Skylar Rose, 5, Riley, 3, Avery Lynn, 2, and Atlas, who is 11 months old.

She is expected to appear in court on November 4 and 7.
